76-78 LF pipe

Post by JDXspec »

Looking at maybe making a performance 440 liquifire. I have 76 and a 78 LF pipe. the 78 pipe is clearly longer. Does anyone know if there is a performance advantage to using one pipe or the other? Rules state I must use unaltered oem exhaust.

Thanks

Dustin,
I would say use the pipe matching the appropriate year engine. The 78 engine was detuned foe the use of regular gas.
